Saudi Arabia's Saline Water Conversion Corp Achieves World Record for Desalinated Water Production Capacity

Saudi Arabia's Saline Water Conversion Corp Achieves World Record for Desalinated Water Production Capacity

Saudi Arabia's Saline Water Conversion Corp (SWCC) has achieved a significant milestone in water security by increasing its water production capacity to 11.5 million cubic meters per day, making it the world's largest producer of desalinated water.
This was reported in the company's second annual sustainability report, which highlights the innovative solutions and approaches the company has pursued to achieve excellence in sustainability, including aspects related to governance structure, communication with stakeholders, and environmental, economic, and social sustainability.

The report also highlights the transfer of SWCC's production, transportation, and storage assets to the Public Investment Fund-owned Water Solutions Co, which will allow the company to continue innovating and expanding globally to meet the increasing demand for urban water use.

Additionally, the report notes that the company has established an infrastructure of pipeline networks to ensure the delivery of water to all areas near and far, and that it continuously develops its business methods to prevent any interruption of its services.

Saudi Arabia is classified as one of the most water-scarce nations on the planet, and seawater desalination has become a vital solution to meet the increasing demand for fresh water.

As a result, SWCC's main role includes supplying water to the cities and provinces of Saudi Arabia, as well as meeting the water needs of Makkah and Madinah during the Haj and Umrah seasons.

The company runs 30 desalination plants with a production capacity of approximately 7.5 million cubic meters per day and 139 purification stations with a total of about 4 million m3 per day, supported by a team of over 9,000 employees.
